Secondaries have broad brown margins, the whole disk yellow with a 

 tint of fulvous, divided into spots by the nervules. 



Under side of primaries fuliginous upon inner margins, reddish brown 

 on costa and apex; the spots repeated indistinctly ; on the arc a black 

 line. 



Secondaries pale brown with the spots repeated indistinctly. 



Body above brown ; below grey ; palpi whitish ; club brown, tipped 

 with fulvous. 



Female. Similar to the male, a little larger. 



From a male taken by Mr. Arthur Christie, in Northern Illinois. 

 The female in my possession was sent by Mr. E. Norton from New 

 Orleans. 

 Hesperja Ricara, nov. sp. (Plate I, fig. II.) 



Male. Expands 1 inch. Upper side greyish brown ; primaries have 

 a zigzag series of white spots, of which three are on the costa near 

 apex, four below in a diagonal line that if protracted would strike the 

 middle of the inner margin, and two below the last of these; discal arc 

 white; a rectangular spot near it within the cell, over which are two 

 fine lines on the costa ; two or three small spots near the base in an 

 oblique line from the rectangular spot; fringes of both wings alternate 

 black and white. 



Secondaries have a submarginal series of indistinct white spots, and 

 a second of larger ones across the disk. 



Under side of primaries brown, dark in the disk, pale with a yellow 

 green tint upon costal and hind margins; same spots as above. Secon- 

 daries have a russet tint with two blackish rays from the base, one 

 through the cell, the other along the inner margin ; spots as above, but 

 dilated, and in addition, two or three next the base. 



Palpi grey; antennae black and white above, yellowish below; club 

 ferruginous. 



From six specimens taken by Mr. Ridings at Empire City, Colorado 

 Territory. 



This resembles H. Wyandot Edwards. I have followed the descrip- 

 tion of that species so that the distinction between the two may be 

 more readily observed. 



Lyc.ena rustica, nov. sp. 



Male. Expands 1 inch. Upper side silvery blue, as in Ssepiulus, 

 with blackish hind margins which are broad on primaries, narrow on 

 secondaries; a small discal spot upon each wing; secondaries have a 

 marginal series of faint bluish ocelli; fringes long, white.
